Bede’s World, Church Bank, Jarrow, Tyne and Wear, NE32 3DY are having a craft fair this Saturday 2nd March and Sunday 3rd March 2013. Admission is free and there’s free entry to the farm and museum all weekend. The craft fair will run from 10am until 4.30pm with a selection of fine foods, craft activities and handmade goods available all weekend.

Newcastle’s affiliated warship, HMS Dauntless, has berthed at North Shields for a weekend of events on Tyneside. The 152m long Type 45 destroyer vessel joined the Royal Navy fleet in November 2010 and is visiting Newcastle, her affiliated city. The public will get the chance to have a look around on Sunday when there will also be a parade.

The Royal Navy had to apologise after hundreds of visitors were turned away from an open day in Great Yarmouth after the event was “hugely oversubscribed”.

We’ve added a couple of videos about the visit to our YouTube page here.
